Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift in love

Travis Kelce is going to feel so high school the next time he watches the Eras Tour.

Taylor Swift added a sneaky tribute to her romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end in the choreography for her new Tortured Poets Department section of the setlist during her Paris concert May 9.

During Taylor’s performance of the song “So High School,” the “Cruel Summer” singer and her back-up singers gave a subtle nod to his NFL team’s tradition of swag surfing when celebrating a touchdown—a custom she’s also joined in on while cheering him on at games.

In a clip shared to TikTok, Taylor and her dancers—clad in all-white—sat on bleachers while performing the dance as she sang the line, “It’s true, swear, scout’s honor / You know what you wanted and, boy, you got her.”

And that’s not the only way the Grammy winner may have referenced Travis during the Tortured Poets era of her concert. Taylor, 34, also mashed up “So High School” with “But Daddy I Love Him,” leaving many to believe she was hinting that the last verse of the latter track is also an ode to the football star.

“YES!! Been saying it’s a Travis song this whole time and everyone’s missing it!!” one user wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) May 9. “She must have been frustrated people weren’t getting it either and made it explicit by mashing them.”

Another fan wrote, “I love that she confirmed the last verse in But Daddy I Love Him is about her current relationship by mashing it up with So High School.”

Taylor also made plenty of non-Travis-related changes to her Eras Tour, including removing songs like “Long Live,” “The Archer” and “The 1” to make room for her additions, and debuting several new outfits, such as a glittering red bodysuit for the Lover portion.

Of course, if anyone can handle the challenge of switching things up, it’s Taylor. After all, her personal trainer Kirk Myers recently shared that “some people would probably throw up or have to lay down on the floor if they trained like her.”

“Taylor is the most resilient person I have ever met,” Kirk told Vogue in an interview published April 19. “It’s super-inspiring to see her consistently overcome obstacles and become better and stronger in the end.”

July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story began in July 2023, when the singer’s Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.

“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. “So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”

 

Summer 2023: This Is Him Trying

After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as “metal as hell”—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.

“I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court,” he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. “I told her, you know, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ So, we’ll see what happens in the near future.”
